Celebrate international astronomy day with the Ohio Nature Center

The Ohio Nature Center will celebrate international astronomy day from 4 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday with hands-on activities for the whole family.

Participants can make a pocket solar system, compare the planets, take a hike through the solar system with the Earth as a Peppercorn activity, as well as make a sun dial and star finder. When the stars come out, telescopes and binoculars will be provided to participants to stargaze and catch a glimpse of the Lyrids Meteor Shower.

The event will be hosted at the William C. Kraner Nature Center, 10380 Fairview Road, Newark. Cost is $5 for individuals or $15 for a family of four. Families can bring food to grill over a campfire or buy food at the event.
